Much will now depend on how severe that damage is though, as Jurgen Klopp will not want to be without him for an extended period of time with his side doing so well to start the season.

Coutinho has six goals and six assists in 14 appearances in all competitions so far this season, and as well as his overall contribution to the team, he has been an essential part of their success.

With tough fixtures coming up over the Christmas period including a Merseyside derby and a clash with Pep Guardiola’s Manchester City, Klopp will hope to not be robbed of one of his finest talents for long.
